What are the graduation rates for students at Atlantic University?

Atlantic University's reported six-year graduation rate is 39% for the applicable entering cohort. Its four-year rate is 22%. These measures track completion within specified time windows; they do not mean that every student who has not graduated by a given point has permanently left college.

The reported overall graduation rate is also 39%, while student retention is 82%. Retention concerns continued enrollment from one year to the next for a defined group, so it answers a different question from graduation. The graduation figures should be used as cohort-level context rather than a prediction for an individual applicant - particularly a transfer or part-time student whose path may not match the students counted in a first-time student graduation measure.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Atlantic University?

Federal College Scorecard program data report earnings measured about one year after completion for former students in several Atlantic University fields. The reported figures include $17,661 for film, video, and photographic arts; $15,915 for design and applied arts; $15,682 for graphic communications; and $14,203 for computer software and media applications.

These are program-level measures for the students whose earnings could be observed, not guaranteed salaries for everyone earning a credential. The measurement is early in a career, and it does not capture every type of work or later earnings growth. Students comparing programs should weigh these figures alongside completion rates, the cost of attendance, the curriculum, and the kind of work each program prepares them to pursue.
